Collaboration with NCP (KPK) in Warsaw

Dear Maria, that looks great!

I can be a representative member either in Poznan or Łódź (I think they are the closest one to Wroclaw).

Best wishes,

Clara

Hi, yet another collaborative effort with the KPK. Adam Głuszuk is asking for scientists who would like to be part of a media campaign celebrating 20 years of MSCA.

The campaign is run by the company "Science PR" and it would feature institutions and scientists in Poland that benefited from MSCA. There would be something about what countries are the most popular destinations for Polish scientists, what nationalities choose most frequently to come to Poland etc. + some interviews with selected fellows who are still here. Preferably they would like to contact those with Individual grants or in ITNs. Please let me know or leave a comment if you are interested - I would assemble a list of candidates and the PR company will pick their favourites.

best wishes,

Maria

Hello Guys,

Sorry for my long absence here, but I am in Inida, due to a family emergency and ahave limited access to my mailbox.

From what I gathered, you guys have been working hard, and I will contribute to the good work once I am back.

About thr collaboration with KPK

I am interested in both the tasks.

If I remember correctly, even Gdansk was one of the destinations, in case it is, I will gladly take up that position

About the media campaign, I can volunteer for that as well.

Regards,

Rohan

Hi all,

today's meeting with KPK made things a bit more clear about the 3-day event in October, Polish ERA Mobility and Career Days. The whole project is aimed at young researchers who are about to start or are already doing their PhD, and hopes to attract an audience of 1250 participants. Possibly some young PhDs might find it of interest too - in Poland, the young researcher category = <35 years old..

They will pick an "ambassador" for each of the cities (and a media campaign, again run by "Science PR" like for the MSCA). The "ambassador" will probably be a young successful researcher, but not necessarily from MCAA - we will see if they pick us for this role, they need some variety in terms of field/gender/sector etc. The ambassador will need to be present during the event.

Unfortunately for our foreign members, the events will be in Polish, but I suggested that one of the round tables on the first day should include researchers from abroad who can talk about cultural differences, how to deal with difficulty of moving countries/continents and so on, which would be in English. Hopefully they accommodate some of these suggestions.

In any case, we should have a MCAA stand at each of the big events, so volunteers will be very welcome. The events focus on the possibility for young researchers to talk to others with a bit more experience/experts, which we can definitely provide as an alumni organisation :)

There will also be 1-day events in additional cities, but not much has been said about that yet.

I will keep you updated if anything more is known

Happy holiday break!

That souns very interesting Maria!

I have already volunteer as you know, as always, depending on the dates. I thinkk It is a really good idea that one table includes researches from abroad, at the end this is about mobility, and it should be international.

Thank you.

Hi,

KPK is still looking for 2-3 people (preferably at least 1 female) who are foreigners in Warsaw to have an interview at TVN Warszawa for the MSCA promo campaign.

Let us know ASAP if you find a candidate or can volunteer yourself! :)

best wishes,

Maja

Hi,

I am available, but it depends on when the interview is planned, cause I will be back at my institute (in Warsaw) in May,
